His interest in sudan was a natural consequence of his interest in Egypt, country that the British empire occupied in 1882. Sudan was firstly occupied by the Turko-egyptian troops in 1820., but the governor of Sudan was the british Sir Gordon.]]> 2017-02-24 20:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/juan09mar/llseyxbgpkxs/wish/156136207 juan09mar https://padlet.com/juan09mar/llseyxbgpkxs/wish/156140126 In 1881 there was a revolt against the government lead by  Mohamed Ahmed El Mahdi, a religious leader. This period of Sudan independence , the Mahdist period lasted until 1898, when an anglo-egyptian force, led by general Kitchener, invaded Sudan and defeated Mahdi in the battle of Omdurman. ]]> 2017-02-24 20:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/juan09mar/llseyxbgpkxs/wish/156140126 juan09mar https://padlet.com/juan09mar/llseyxbgpkxs/wish/156140189 The battle of Omdurman is a prove of the great interest of Britain in Sudan. Sudan was Egypt’s backdoor and the source of the Nile an Egypt was fundamental for Britain because of the Suez Canal, opened in 1869, that represented a new quick route to India.
Major-General Herbert Kitchener was an engineer and veteran of the Indian army who had been training his troops for two years to attack the Mahdist state. The Mahdist army had much more soldiers than the Anglo-egyptyns but Kitchener had powerful and great armament. The battle  of Omdurman lasted five hours. 11,000 Sudanese soldiers were were killed and 16,000 wounded. The Anglo-Egyptian losses were only 500

Sudan was important not only for his natural resources but especially  because whoever controls Sudan also controls Egypt. Another important  British interest was to stop the french interest over the upper Nile area. Great Britain wanted to conquer Africa  from Cairo to Cape in the south.

Although of course the colony built a lot of roads, railways and other infrastructures  and improved education and medicines, they administered northern and southern Sudan as separate provinces and developed more the north arabic part than the christian south. A passport was even necessary to travel from one part to the other.

The british policy of “divide and rule”, united with the minor development of the south of the country had a great effect in the future of Sudan]]> 2017-02-24 20:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/juan09mar/llseyxbgpkxs/wish/156141113 juan09mar https://padlet.com/juan09mar/llseyxbgpkxs/wish/156143267 The meaning of decolonization is the the withdrawal from its colonies of a colonial power; the acquisition of political or economic independence by such colonies. The negotiations to give independence to Sudan began in 1951and ended in 1953, when the British and the Egyptian left the country.

Although Sudan achieved independence without violence, the country had a lot of problems deviated from the british condominium. The British fdidn’t give the promised autonomous rule to the southern states, which were very different culturally, ethnically, linguistically and religiously . This caused inevitable conflict. In 1983 hostilities began again.
